Klint,
Yes, actually. There was no activity on any of the databases.

Ah, yes. I missed stating that. I switched to user postgres and ran:
postgres@salmo:/var/lib/pgsql$ initdb -D ./data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locales
COLLATE: C
CTYPE: en_US
MESSAGES: en_US
MONETARY: en_US
NUMERIC: en_US
TIME: en_US
could not determine encoding for locale "en_US": codeset is "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
initdb: could not find suitable encoding for locale en_US
Rerun initdb with the -E option.
Try "initdb --help" for more information.
But, using the -E option with en_US tells me that it's not a valid locale.
Thanks,
Rich
